Faster.
Better oneself.
Better way to manage your linetype scale factor
(LTscale) and
hidden lines in 3D compatible with AutoCAD.
Three solutions for model space
By limits.
By plot scale.
By viewport scale factor.
Adjusts the linetype scale factor (LTscale) with
the Paper size imperial or metric
Mode space and Paper space and Hidden lines in 3D.

3Problem the choose
- You have drawing prototypes with dimscale and
linetype scale factor (LTscale) is not possible
to modification.
- Choose what linetype scale factor (LTscale).
- Your final output is better with BenLTscale
because it is not dependent on a preset linetype
scale factor (LTscale).
- This is a problem the choose Limits, Paper size
and Plot scale.
- Helps to standardize your drawing more standard
to obtain linetypes more uniform.

4My service
- A better quality of finished product to print.
- A better quality of drawing visually presented on
the screen.
- Scale can be adjusted as per your requirements.
After loading the program you visual display
right away all the different lines at any scale
in model or paper space.
Print in model space or paper space at any scale
with a proper linetype scale factor (LTscale).

5Attention
- Linetypes must be loaded for proper units
(Imperial or Metric).
Command _celtscale 1
Or
Command _setvar celtscale 1
Or
Command _properties linetype scale, ALL
currents objects 1
Command _psltscale 1
Or
Command _setvar psltscale 1
- File .CTB in the Plot style manager, the
linetype USE OBJET LINETYPE

6Conflict
- If you insert a drawing with linetype and format
unit that are different from the current drawing.
If it is a imperial drawing,
Command _linetype load file, ACAD.lin imperial
If it is a metric drawing,
Command _linetype load file, ACADISO.lin metric
P.S.
- If the plot scale is modified in Layout tab,
(example Scale 1 1 pour 1 4)
